KV YOKK-t UlCAtiO AIR LINK. FOR CIVIC BETTERMENT. While Pendleton has achieved many excellent municipal triumphs In the past, none more worthy than street paving, there are yet a number of things to think about and hope for. Cities like Individuals, have Ideals, goals for which they strive and as the Individual standard Is high, so will be the civic standard of the city. Here are a few things yet to be accomplish ed In Pendleton: Sweep the pavement at night, when all the dust will not fly Into open store doors. Create a city park on the site of the old cemetery Remove the railroad tracks from Webb street. Build a city hall. Place sents on the court house lawn, with permission from the county court. Pave the side streets. Change the charter to allow further improvements. Urge construction of a union depot. Maintain a permanent exhibit of the resources of Umatilla county at the depot. Print some literature about Pendle tcn and Umatilla county. Help frame the public school pic tures. Help prepare and maintain a mode! school room. Secure an occasional food Inspec tion. Urge construction of a new thea ter building. See that the levee Is properly repair ed and placed in excellent condition this season. Secure a gravity water system. Stop cigarette smoking among young boys. Encourage the band. compound Interest, and still fewer kr.ow what It does. One dollar de posited in a savings bank which pays 4 I per cent will amount to $2.19 In 20 .lyoara. This Is simple compound In 4 j tcrest. But how many men know that iif thev deposit $1 every year the value In 20 years will not be $2.19. but $?0.97? Any man or woman who Is earning wages at all can save $1 a week. That money deposited In a savings bank for 20 years will amount to $1612. A leinsit of $5 a week will amount to over $8000. The annual Interest on this at 4 per cent would be $320. Thus the man who deposits $5 a week In a savings bnnk can after 20 years draw out $6 a week and still leave his wife and children at his death all the money that he deposited and more than half as much more. There is no paradox or catch in this. It Is a plain, simple mathematical statement of what any savings bank will do. Every wife should read these figures and go over them herself. They are ac curate. The only necessity Is to make the deposit regularly. If. Instead of discontinuing the weekly deposits at 20 years, they are continued for 10 years more, every dollar a week will have become $58. 3S and the $52 a year will have become over $3000. For every doljar which had been deposited $2 a week can then be drawn out without Impairing the principal, which has been doubled. Tt takes time to make money this way, but the result Is certain. There Is no secret about It. no mystery, no allurement, no dazzling All that It requires li Industry and a little self-denial every week. It pays better than any gold or copper mine, than any pooii-oooi or uukct hup. Interest in the great electric rail road that will cut down the running time between Chicago and New York to ten hours, and carry passengers at a $10 fare, continues unabated. Grading commenced on September 1. The Chicago-New York electric air line railroad will run over a track that scarcely verges from a straight lin In its entire course of 750 miles, thereby making the distance 160 miles shorter than the shortest exist ing steam railroad route. Over this direct route will le run hourly elec tric trains at a speed that will reach a maximum of 100 miles an hour and maintain an average of 75 miles. No steam road could have 'ever hoped to do this, because it would have been Impossible to maintain such n speed. Moreover, the limit of human endurance has been reached by the stokers on the steam locomo tives. According to Warren Sanford S'one, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, a stoker on a ste:-.m locomotive shovels as high ns 2T t ins of coal on a single trip. The new electric engines have no such handicap, for ample and uni form power comes to them at all times from mammoth power-houses, located 50 miles apart along the line. Their rotary motors run without thump or jar. and enable them to do work under which a steam locomo tive would not last six months. "COD'' IN THE CONSTITUTION. The Springfield Republican, In re porting the proceedings of the Okla homa state constitutional cconven tlon, says: The debate was long and heated os to whether the words, "The Su preme Ruler of the Universe," or Almighty God," should be used In the preamble to the constitution. At last the latter words wero voted In. One of the members declared that It cost $1200 to get these two words, "Almighty God," put Into the consti tution; but was quieted by another member who declared It was well worth that sum. Dcvi'lopniont of Sjiliallen. The Far East Journals, Okrlna and Dnlny Llstok, published some Inform ation concerning the activity of the Japanese In the southern portion of Snghallen. Thus, on December 6, the railway between Korssakovlskl and Vladlmlrskoye was opened. This line, which is only of a temporary charac ter, has cost $135,000; it Is 30 miles In length and has six stations. At present nearly all the places In South Saghallen are connected by telegraph. The Japanese government has decided to Intrust the civil administration of Karafuto. that Is. Saghallen, to the ministry of the Interior and not to the ministry of war, and a colonial de partment for administering Karafuto, Kokkaldo, and Formosa will be form ed In the ministry "Iliad a Cough -X ::That Friends Feared Would.

George Harvey, pub lisher of books and editor of maga zines, ought to know. The foremost authors of the day are on his pay roll. "Mark Twain." he Instantly replied when asked the question. "No other man In the history of letters, either here or In Europe, has ever received 30 cents a word on a contract that Is practically unlimited as to time, and absolutely without conditions as to subjects, treatment or anything else. It is unthinkable thnt Mark Twain should write a story or article and have It rejected. Even In that Incon ceivable event, however, he would be paid 30 cents a word Just the same. Put into language easily understood, 30 cents a word Is equivalent to $360 per column In an average sized newspaper." LIMITATION OF ARMAMENT. NO DANGEROUS SPEED. Postmaster George B. Cortelyou has made a statement which will bring relief to the minds of railway em ployes. He said upon taking his office a week ago that he did not Intend to agitate faster speed on railroads, as he considered the present schedules beyond the danger limit In many In stances. In other words, he, as a public official, having Influence and authority, would not become a party to murder by demanding excessive speed schedules for mall trains. At least, Cortelyou has a heart In his breast. Public officials having less regard for the "common herd" who must operate trains and engines, have caus ed most of the deaths of passenger who have been killed within the last few years on the fast trains. Cortelyou has set a wise and hu mane example. LITTLE SAVINGS COUNT. In this age of big enterprises, saving dollar a week seems to be an Insig nificant and trifling matter, but If people would study the mathematics of the aavlng deposit, reckon compound Interest and learn the significance of little things, there would be more In dependence among laboring peeople. The savings bank principle Is one of the best features of modern eco nomics, if practiced persistently and patiently, by people with small ln- There Is a marked nductance on the part of some of the powers that are to participate In the International conference at The Hague next June to discuss the question of limiting ar maments. Germany and Russia are notably averse to taking up the one great problem whose solution would do more than anything else to bring about uni versal peace. Professor de Martens, the eminent authority on international law, who has been making a tour of European chancelleries as the repre sentative of Russia, explains that the reason for this Is that the question Is considered Insoluble at this time. But Russia will not object to the discussion, he says, If England and the United States make It clear Just what the scope of the discussion they propose Is to be. His government does not want to be taken unawares by any coups or surprises. Meanwhile W. T. Stead, the English altruist, has been Interviewing kings and premiers cr. the other side of the question. No one expects that it will be pos sible for the great powers to agree on a limitation of armament at this time, but the discussion of the question ought to result In a better understand ing and to pave the way for an agree ment of that sort In the near future. It never does any harm to get together In an amicable spirit and talk things over. HISTORIC ITALIAN TOWN. An historic Italian town in Ameri ca is that of Vlnland, N. J., which speculation. , was founded by Chevalier Fecchl de Caale, a disciple of Mazzinl, a com ade of Garibaldi and a refugee from Ualy., He came to this country in ISt't and 'established a newspaper In New York, knnjan as L'Fco d'ltalia. Thr'M'h thi.-i ccimtry'r Inf'U'Mio? he seour d the passag-? of a bill in the Kalian parliament abating the pa drone f-ysteni. His colt'iilzatlo:i seh.-me was a great success, and his people became the best grape-raisers and truk-firme's in the east. Ths refugee was finally knighted by Vic tor Emmanuel. It was owing to the success of the Vl.iland community that the towns of Daphne and Lam .erth were founded In the heart of Alabama woo, Is, where successful vine yards were established. Fred- ick J. Hasklns. lends of English Women. Many English society women are the owners of Jewels worth the pro verbial king's ransom. Perhaps the largest collections belong to the Duchess of "Portland and the Duch ess of Marlborough, but Viscountess Iveagh Is the possessor of one of the most valuable necklaces In England. Her pearls are worth over $350,000, and took Lork Iveagh a long time to collect. I-ndy Rothschild, the Coun tess of Dudley, the Countess of An nesley and Lady Denman of Rox burghe and the Marchioness of Duf ferln both have a large number of turquoises. Sketch of Commissioner Richards. William Alford Richards, commis sioner of the general land office, was horn at Hazel Green, Wis., March 9, 1S49. He received his schooling In his native town and at Galena. 111. He went to California In the enrly '70s and has lived many years In the public land states of the west. In Wyoming he filled the position of surveyor gen eral from 1SS9 to 1893. and was later elected governor of the state, serving four years from January 1. 1895. In 1902 he was appointed to BUccecd linger Hermann of Oregon as com missioner of the general land office. During his tenure of office the post tlon has become one of extreme im portnnce because of the revelations of gigantic land frauds. Mrs. Grace Janaon, lit) Madison street, Chicago, 111., writes: "Typhoid fever Ictt me with a complication of diseases. I had a terrible pain In my left aide and had a cough that all my friends feared would toon end my life. My doctor came to see me three times a week, but could do me no good, tie could not. account for the pain In my left side and could give me nothing to relieve me. "About this time I began taking Peruna and before I had taken one bottle I had hopes of getting better. By the time t had taken the second bottle, my cough was entirely gone and I felt like a new being. "1 took Just three bottles of Peruna and am entirely well and feel better than I have felt for years. I thank Ood and Dr. hartman for my recovery. " MANY cases of clirnnio catarrh re sult from a settled cold. Women are especially liable to colds. Those colds occur more frequently dur ing the wet, sloppy weather of winter and spring than any other time of t lie year. Often they are not considered serious and are al lowed to run on, or they are treatod WOMEN SHOULD BEWARE Or CATCHING COLD. T In such a wsy as to only palliate the symptoms, while the cold becomes more deep-seated and the patient finally awakens to the fact that she has a well developed case of catarrh. By reason of their delicate structure the lungs are frequently the seat of a cold, especially If there Is the slightest weakness of these organs. The treat ment of catarrh of the lungs Is also more difficult and discouraging than catarrh of any other organ of the body. It would be wise, tliorefore, to guard against it by every precaution possible. I'ernna has been found a most reliuMe T'.Mnedv for coughs, colds and catarrhal diseases, by reiibon of the fact thut it goes at once to tut very seat of the trouble. Mrs. M. . Jones, Burning Springs, Ky., writes: "We have bean using Peruna for some time and have no hesitancy in recom mending it for the thousand and one ailments cf humanity. "No family should ever ho without It, for It is an unfailing cure for colds, and it Is an excellent remedy to prevent and relieve croup." Strong and Vigorous Since Taking Pe-ru-na. Mrs. Laura llonyo, 824 Ann street, Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:, "I a::i entirely cured of catarrh of the bronchial tubes by Peruna, My chest feels strong and rigorous, and it seems as though I never had catarrh. "Whenever I am la need of medicine, Peruna will be what I will take. It saved my life. I shall always sing Ha praisea." One Bottle Crlngs Relief. Miss Annie Huelsman, H. R. 2, Wright City, Mo., writes: "For year I vriw troubled with ca tarrh. A friend advis.-d Peruna. With the first bottlq 1 found relief. I kept cn taking Hand am euMMv vll." KEEP OX KEEPIN ON. THE SWISS SCHOOL SYSTEM. In alt the trouble which haa been raised In different sections of the world, In England, In Poland, In France especially, over the educa tion blil, little or nothing haa been said regarding Switzerland. Yet here we have an example of a country with "no religious diffi culty," or, rather, one that has sat isfactorily settled the problem, where an excellent system of schools Is at work and one that has based Its methods; on the principle of full pop ular control In Its true sense, as dis tinct from one which Is limited to undenomlnatlonallsm or secularism. Moreover, the settlement has been reached under conditions similar to those existing In England at the preMnt time. There are four re ligious part'es, Roman Catholic, Cal vanlsts, Old Catholics and Jews, The government of Switzerland Is strongly localized. Every canton Is Independent, but representatives from each unite In a federal council. The question of the schools Is prac tically settled In the constitution It self, which says: The bund may support or establish THE M.SIXFSS INSTINCT. A woman was recently reading to her young son the story of a little fellow whose father had been taken ill and died, after which he set him self diligently to work to assist In supporting himself and his mother, "would you work to keep mamma?" "Why, no," said the little chap, not relishing the Idea of work. "What for? Ain't we got a good house to live In?" "Oh, yes, my dear," raid the mother, "but wo can't eat the house, you know." "Well, ain't we got plenty of things In the pantry?" continued the young hopeful. "Certainly, dear," replied the mother, "but they would not last long, and what then?" "Well, ma," said the young Incorrigible after thinking a moment, "wouldn't there be enough to last until you got an other husband?" HE WAS THE "THE BOY." A New York printer who occupies a floor In Seventeenth street directed one of his clerks to hand out a "Boy Wanted" aign at the street entrance a fw days ago. The card had been swinging In the breeze only a few minutes when a red-headed little tad climbed to the printer's office with the sign under his arm. "Say, mister," he demanded of the printer, "did youse hang out this here 'Boy Wanted' sign'" "I did," replied the printer stern ly. "Why did you tear It down'" Rack of his freckles the youngster was gazing in wonder at the man's stupidity. "Hully Gee!" he blurted. "Why, I'm the hoy!" And he was. THE MISSING $173,000. The missing $173,000 supposed to be stolen from the Chicago sub-treasury Is now said to be an error of fig ures. The trouble Is that a system of bookkeeping that will, through error, keep experts looking a week for the supposed thief, might be worked 'the other way so that a genuine theft would merely, appear like an error In figures. Cheyenne Tribune. W. C. McClure of Saginaw, Mich., haa bought of Cobb & Munhel, also of Michigan, 18,000 acres of yellow fir timber In Polk and Lincoln counties, paying therefor $900,000.
